**8. Conclusions**

One of the most effective ways to reduce the abundance of multi-drug resistant pathogens is with the use of beneficial microorganisms and/or their metabolites, analogous to the effective environmentally-friendly biological method of eliminating stubborn pests in farmlands by agriculturalists. The benefits of the gut microbiota are being constantly unraveled as advanced next-generation sequencing techniques arise. The field of microbio-therapeutics is steadily growing. Harnessing the potentials of these microbes is paramount to making the world a healthier and better place to live.
